Marriage Story (Noah Baumbach, 2019) Movie • Page 14

I liked it for what it was, cheap popcorn flick, but it could be tainted because it was a fun night in general at the drive-in.

 

Lucy is real bad. Who had the moronic idea to make an action movie where they are absolutely no stakes or tension? If she’s literally God then watching people attack her is incredibly boring

 

The same could be said of the invincible John Wick. It's a really fun movie people enjoyed at the time it came out. Now everyone's backsliding.

 

John Wick is by no means invincible. He is constantly getting hit / stabbed / shot. He explicitly *loses* fights a number of times, especially in the last movie

 

Love the John Wick films from a technical standpoint, but God, I can't get into the plot and lore at all.

 

LOG OFF LANDON!

 

ate a full rotisserie chicken for lunch as a tribute to this film

 

Too fast, I didn’t even have time to make this joke in the food thread.

 

my commitment to the bit can't be topped.

 

So I’m a child of divorce, a very contentious, difficult one at that, and as such I chose to sit on this one for a bit until I had the time to watch it by myself.

I’m glad I did that.

I was doing okay for the most part. The end of the argument scene, Charlie singing, and the letter were all very moving, but I burst into uncontrollable sobbing at the very end when she ties his shoe. It’s a point of mutual understanding and continued love my parents never came to and never will and it just shattered my heart. That’s what I lost and still mourn to this day and I don’t think I’ve ever seen that represented onscreen in such a simple, understated, profound way.

 

Definitely agree with how powerful that is. Probably my favorite moment.

 

Lol ok Haddie

 

That made me go back and watch a few scenes from this movie. Still powerful.

Also, I miss Parenthood.

 

Parenthood forever

 

guess this is headed for criterion in a few days

 

tight

 

50% off sale at Barnes & Noble starts on Wednesday too.

 

I wish I would have known about this before I bought the Criterion edition of Portrait of a Lady on Fire last week lol

 

Still need to pick up the CC release

 

I’m going to go out on a limb and say it’s about upper middle class/rich white people in New York
